Honda CRV Views?

had one for a week as a hire car.

this was a new one about 3 or 4 years ago

not at all comfortable on long drive.

did not handle well, poor on fuel.

new ones are supposed to be better, but take one out for a long test drive before you commit.

The diesel one was reviewed in some car mag last month, think it was what-car?

They preferred the Nissan 'thingy', can't remember it's name, they said the new Honda diesel in the CRV was very powerful and caused too much wheelspin!

I don't think much of soft-roaders though.
